Obligatory Karmic Announcement
I’m sure I’m not the only person who will be writing about Ubuntu’s latest release, but I had to go with the flow!
You can now download 9.10 (a.k.a Karmic Koala), from the Ubuntu website. Though to avoid destroying the servers, I would HIGHLY recommend downloading via bit torrent.
I’m seeding the alternate and desktop images from my server, in both 32 & 64 bit, and will be doing so for the next few weeks 
Finally, enjoy Karmic, congrats & thanks to all involved in the release!!! Next stop – Lucid Lynx!
Karmic < 2 Weeks
Is it bad that I’m getting excited?
I always look forward to the Ubuntu releases, I don’t know why, I’ve started running the pre-release from around alpha 5 or alpha 6 so I know pretty much exactly how it’s going to be. Though I do plan on seeding the torrents again for at least 2 weeks So as soon as the .torrent files are there, I’ll be grabbing it to seed, though limiting because I don’t want to hog all the bandwidth on the VPS!
Other than that plan, I’m hoping to get more involved in Lucid Lynx (10.04) if I can, and if I can find the time. But right now, I’m happy with Karmic, it’s shaping up to be an awesome release, and I’ll most certainly be mentioning it to those people who say “Linux just isn’t ready yet”, I think we’ve come a surprising way in 6 months, and a HUGE step from when Ubuntu first started those short few years ago.
And as I did with Jaunty – I’ll be posting my seeding stats after around 2 weeks, just to share, it’s always interesting to know how many people use(d) torrents as opposed to straight http/ftp downloads.
